These buildings with their varied styles and methods of construction span many centuries. Attractive small market towns and villages punctuate the gently rolling countryside, whose arable and pastoral mosaic of greens, yellows, blues and browns alter with the seasons and from ever-changing crop selection. These fine built environments in their rural settings have been subject to damaging historic economic and social influences but many settlements still continue to possess an architectural form and setting of the very highest quality, certainly amongst the finest in Essex. Picture 1.1 Henham as depicted on the 1777 Chapman and Andre map 1.2 Patterns of change will inevitably continue to shape and influence the environment in the future. 1.3 The District has an economically sound base being ranked 137 out of 408 districts on the Local Futures economic productivity score, placing it in the top 40% of districts nationally(1). The economy is stable, well integrated and supported by long-established companies in professional services, with a good market base for new businesses. Within the locality London Stansted Airport is a major employer, though an increasing number of businesses, many based in rural locations, provide local opportunities. With good road and rail communication London, Cambridge, Harlow and Chelmsford are significant economic draws making the region a popular destination for those looking 1 Local Futures Summary Profile [of] Uttlesford, Local Futures, February 2010 p.6 Henham Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals, 2012 5 Part 1: Appraisal 1 to move out of more urban areas. The associated pressures accompanying such in-migration make it increasingly important to protect the high quality of both built and natural environments. 1.4 By comparison with the national average the population is relatively affluent with a high quality of life for those with resources. There are, though, pockets of deprivation for whom access to services can be an issue compared with those in the more urban areas to the north and south. This is particularly acute for the young, disabled and elderly and for those in the rural hinterland where geographical remoteness and a paucity of public transport can be a real bar to effective delivery of services. 1.5 The current Uttlesford Local Plan, adopted in 2005, recognises these facts and commits the Council to prepare Conservation Area Statements and Supplementary Planning Documents and the production of this document is part of this process. 1.6 There is now widespread recognition that the quality of such conservation areas is the sum total of a number of factors. These include general layout, overall scale, the relationship of buildings to each other, the spaces and vistas between them and the elements that unite them, the mixture of uses; the quality of advertisements, road signage, surfaces, street furniture and trees, as well as the quality of the individual buildings themselves. Conservation area designation and the undertaking of this appraisal recognises the importance of all these factors, particularly in exercising the control of development and in formulating management proposals. 1.7 The purpose of undertaking this conservation area appraisal is to • Identify and justify the special character of the area • Identify elements that should be retained or enhanced • Identify detracting elements • Review the boundary • Put forward enhancement proposals • Provide and strengthen development and design control 1.8 In undertaking an exercise such as this, one aspect that is too easily forgotten is the community itself and the people who live locally and contribute to its cohesion and social success. Henham is a vibrant community with a diverse range of local organisations. These include an active parish council, local societies, including the Garden Society, allotment group, and camera club; church organisations, youth clubs, scouts, brownies, cubs and beavers, a tennis club, Neighbourhood Watch, a very active drama group known as the Henham Players and others. There are several well-used halls including the old school in Crow Street which is currently owned by Essex County Council. 6 Henham Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals, 2012 1 Part 1: Appraisal 1.9 The document has been prepared with input from the local community, particularly Henham Parish Council and the Henham Local History Recorders to whom the Council would like to record its thanks. 1.10 Henham is in the process of compiling a Village Plan with advice from the Rural Community Council of Essex. Although in its early stages, there is clear public support for the importance retaining the quality built and spatial environment in the village and for appropriate controls on future developments. 1.11 The quality of this varied local environment has afforded Henham Conservation Area status, which was designated in 1977. The extent of the area has remained unchanged since that date and one consideration of this study will be to examine the existing boundaries to see whether or not boundary changes are now appropriate. Planning Legislative Framework 1.12 To benefit all participants in this process, it is considered important that this appraisal outlines the basics of how the planning system operates. 1.13 The legislative basis for designating a conservation area is set out in Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 hereafter referred to as ‘the Act’. The Act states that Local Authorities shall from time to time designate conservation areas, which are defined as being ‘areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to conserve or enhance’. The same section of the Act also requires councils to undertake periodic reviews. 1.14 Within conservation areas there are additional planning controls. It is important that if these are to be supported, particularly through the planning appeal process, our conservation areas accord with the above statutory description, that rational and consistent judgements are made in determining their special qualities and extent of their boundaries and that the concept of designation is not devalued by including areas that lack special interest. 1.15 Uttlesford District Council has the responsibility in law to designate conservation areas and once designated has to review them from time to time (section 69 of the Act). Section 71 of the Act makes it clear that councils should ‘formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement’ of conservation areas and hold a public meeting to consider them. 1.16 Conservation Area Consent: There are additional planning controls that apply in conservation areas relating specifically to the demolition of buildings. The detail is set out at section 74 of the Act which states that ‘a building in a conservation area shall not be demolished without the consent of the appropriate authority’. This requirement is known as ‘Conservation Area Consent’ and is subject to certain exceptions. For example, it does not apply to Listed Buildings which are protected by their own legislation but is relevant to other non listed buildings in the conservation area above a threshold size set out in the legislation. Henham Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals, 2012 7 Part 1: Appraisal 1 1.17 Permitted development: The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) 1995 (as amended), hereafter referred to as ‘the Order’, defines the overall range of minor developments for which planning permission is not required and this range of ‘permitted development’ is more restricted in conservation areas. In this respect, the Order

Take 2 Timothy for example. The whole letter is set against a very discouraging background of imprisonment and widespread apostasy. Or take 2 Corinthians. In chapter 1, Paul talks of being ‘so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself’ (verse 8). But as he looks back on a dreadful time, he concludes that ‘this was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly a peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again’ (vv 9-10). As we come towards the end of the third lockdown, I’m very conscious of the unremitting pressure on church leadership teams to keep ministering online, while individual members have to balance this with care for their families, and all in the relative isolation of lockdown. On top of this comes the need to plan for a changed future when there are still so many unknowns.

  • Pick of the Churches
    Pick of the Churches The East of England is famous for its superb collection of churches. They are one of the nation's great treasures. Introduction There are hundreds of churches in the region. Every village has one, some villages have two, and sometimes a lonely church in a field is the only indication that a village existed there at all. Many of these churches have foundations going right back to the dawn of Christianity, during the four centuries of Roman occupation from AD43. Each would claim to be the best - and indeed, all have one or many splendid and redeeming features, from ornate gilt encrusted screens to an ancient font. The history of England is accurately reflected in our churches - if only as a tantalising glimpse of the really creative years between the 1100's to the 1400's. From these years, come the four great features which are particularly associated with the region. - Round Towers - unique and distinctive, they evolved in the 11th C. due to the lack and supply of large local building stone. - Hammerbeam Roofs - wide, brave and ornate, and sometimes strewn with angels. Just lay on the floor and look up! - Flint Flushwork - beautiful patterns made by splitting flints to expose a hard, shiny surface, and then setting them in the wall. Often it is used to decorate towers, porches and parapets. - Seven Sacrament Fonts - ancient and splendid, with each panel illustrating in turn Baptism, Confirmation, Mass, Penance, Extreme Unction, Ordination and Matrimony. Bedfordshire Ampthill - tomb of Richard Nicholls (first governor of Long Island USA), including cannonball which killed him.

  • 5 Elsenham to Newport – 6.7 Miles (11 Kilometres)
    The Hundred Parishes Walks between railway stations – number 5 Elsenham to Newport – 6.7 miles (11 kilometres) The route passes through the lovely villages of Henham and Widdington. Start: Elsenham Station (Grid Reference [GR]: TL533270). Finish: Newport Station (GR: 522336). Parking in both station car parks. Ordnance Survey Explorer Map 195. 6.7 miles of paths and quiet lanes, gently undulating, with one stile to climb. Pubs at Henham (2 miles) and Widdington (4.7 miles). A diagram of the route is provided at the end of the description. Tip: If travelling by train to and from the two stations it is usually cheaper to buy a return ticket for the most distant station, rather than two single tickets. Tip: If travelling by car, it is suggested that you park at the finish and catch the train to the start, thereby avoiding the possible pressure to finish the walk at a certain time. If you arrived at Elsenham Station on a train bound for Cambridge, you must first cross the rail track by the level crossing or the footbridge. If you arrived on a train bound for London, or parked in the station car park, you will be on the correct side of the level crossing. Take great care on the short stretch of road that zigzags through the level crossing. The route starts by heading north along Old Mead Road, running parallel with the rail track just to the left. After 150 metres, turn right just after the entrance to a large warehouse, passing over a footbridge and following the footpath steadily uphill, generally with the hedge on the right but sometimes with it on the left, depending on the degree of vegetation.
